INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer,

Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689,

when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production

of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-

powered plant. During the more than 300 years in existence, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different

products, from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the ﬁrst

motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working

today.

Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our

highest priority. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor-driven products for forestry and

gardening, as well as for the building and construction industry. Husqvarna

′

s aim is also to be at the front edge for

ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different

features to add to our products within these areas.

We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very

long time to come. The purchase of one of our products gives you access to professional help with repairs and service

whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorized dealers, ask for the

address of your nearest service workshop.

It is our wish that you will be satisﬁed with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this

operator

′

s manual as a valuable document. By following its content (usage, service, maintenance, etc), the life span and

the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you sell this machine, make sure that the operator

′

s manual

is passed on to the buyer.

Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.

Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and

appearance of products without prior notice.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

10 – English

Vibration damping system

• Check the vibration damping units regularly for cracks

or deformation. Replace them if damaged.

• Check that the vibration damping element is

undamaged and securely attached.

Mufﬂer

• Never use a machine that has a faulty mufﬂer.

• Regularly check that the mufﬂer is securely attached

to the machine.

• The mufﬂer on your machine is equipped with a spark

arrestor mesh; this must be cleaned regularly. See the

heading Mufﬂer in the Maintenance chapter. A

blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and

may lead to serious damage. Never use a mufﬂer with

a defective spark arrestor mesh.

Air ﬁlter

Never use the leaf blower without an air ﬁlter or with a

damaged or deformed ﬁlter element as unﬁltered, dusty

air can quickly destroy the engine.

General working instructions

Show consideration to persons in your surroundings by

avoiding using the machine at unsuitable times, such as

late in the evening or early in the morning. Reduce the

noise levels by limiting the number of equipment units

used simultaneously. Read through and follow the simple

directions so that you disturb your surroundings as little as

possible.

• Use the blower with the lowest possible throttle. It is

seldom necessary to use full throttle, and many work

procedures can be done at half throttle. A lower

throttle means less noise and less dust, and it is also

easier to keep control over the rubbish collected

together/moved.

• Use a rake or a brush to release rubbish stuck to the

ground.

• Hold the opening of the blower as close to the ground

as possible. Utilise the entire length of the blow pipe

to keep the air current close to the ground.

• Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not

blown rubbish into someone’s garden.

• Use the machine during normal working hours to

avoid unnecessary noise. Avoid working early in the

morning or late at night.

x2

!

WARNING! Never use a machine with

faulty safety equipment. The machine's

safety equipment must be checked and

maintained as described in this section.

If your machine fails any of these checks

contact your service agent to get it

repaired.

IMPORTANT! This section considers basic safety rules

when working with blowers. If you encounter a situation

where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask

an expert. Contact your dealer or your service

workshop. Avoid all usage which you consider to be

beyond your capability.

!

WARNING! Be aware of your

surroundings. If anyone approaches your

work area, set the throttle control to the

lowest throttle until the person is at a

safe distance. Direct the blower away

from people, animals, play areas, open

windows and cars etc.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

English – 11

Basic safety rules

• No unauthorised persons or animals may be present

in the working area, which is 15 metres.

• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling.

• Keep all parts of your body away from hot surfaces.

• If the machine catches ﬁre or other emergency occurs

which forces you to release yourself from the

machine, open the harness straps and let the

machine fall backwards.

• The powerful currents of air can move objects at such

a speed that they can bounce back and cause serious

eye injuries.

• Do not direct the air jet towards people or animals.

• Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling

accessories or other parts.

• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as

dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.

Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to

dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.

• Minimise the blowing time by lightly wetting dusty

areas or using spray equipment.

• Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the

area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,

branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move

suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping

ground.

• Never put the machine down with the engine running

unless you have it in clear sight.

• Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,

which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this

reason you should not start or run the machine

indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.

• The blower must not be used while on a ladder or

scaffolding, or in high places (such as roofs). Their

work could result in severe injury.

• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are

able to call for help in the event of an accident.

Basic working techniques

• This blower is a backpack type, and is carried using a

shoulder harness while operating. It is operated and

controlled with the handle on the tube using the right

hand.

• The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the

throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective

tasks.

You can set the throttle position using the ”stop switch”

and by doing so not need to hold your ﬁnger on the throttle

!

WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.

Always wear eye protection. Stones,

rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the

eyes causing blindness or serious injury.

Keep unauthorised persons at a

distance. Children, animals, onlookers

and helpers should be kept outside the

safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine

immediately if anyone approaches.

!

WARNING! Don’t operate the blower if

the exhaust gas outlet on the engine

cover is covered by a wall and/or some

other obstacles, the machine could get

damage. Make sure that the distance is

50 cm or more from the obstacles during

operation.

!

WARNING! Always stop the engine

before cleaning.

all the time you are using the blower. Full throttle is

obtained when the control is held back fully.

• Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example,

by leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the

machine’s blowing capacity and increases the

engine’s working temperature, which can result in

engine failure. Stop the engine and remove the object.

• Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to

make your work easier.

• Using the blower to move large piles is time

consuming and creates unnecessary noise.

• Keep a good balance and a ﬁrm foothold.

• When work is ﬁnished the machine should be stored

vertically.

FUEL HANDLING

14 – English

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke

engine and must always be run using a mixture of petrol

and two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure

the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct

mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel,

even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of

the mixture.

Petrol

CAUTION! Always use a good quality petrol/oil mixture (at

least 90 octane).

• The lowest recommended octane rating is 90. If you

run the engine on a petrol with a lower octane rating

than 90 this can cause knocking. This leads to an

increased engine temperature, which can result in

serious engine damage.

• When working at continuous high revs a higher octane

rating is recommended. Use good quality unleaded

petrol.

Husqvarna alkylate fuel

Husqvarna recommends the use of Husqvarna alkylate

fuel for best performance. Husqvarna alkylate fuel is not

available in all markets.

Ethanol blended fuel, E10 may be used (max 10%

ethanol blend). Using ethanol blends higher than E10 will

create lean running condition which can cause engine

damage.

Two-stroke oil

• For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA

two-stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our

two-stroke engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).

• If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available, you

may use another two-stroke oil of good quality that is

intended for air cooled engines. Contact your dealer

when selecting an oil.

• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled

outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard

oil.

• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

• Mixing ratio

1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil.

Mixing

• Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container

intended for fuel.

• Always start by ﬁlling half the amount of the petrol to

be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix

(shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of

petrol.

• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before ﬁlling

the machine’s fuel tank.

• Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a

time.

• If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank

should be emptied and cleaned.

container before ﬁlling the tank.

• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space

for the fuel to expand, because the heat from the

engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to

expand and overﬂow.

!

WARNING! Taking the following

precautions, will lessen the risk of ﬁre:

Refuel in a well ventilated area. Never

fuel the machine indoors.

Do not smoke or place hot objects near

fuel.

Always shut off the engine before

refuelling.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for

a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly

so that any excess pressure is released

gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after

refuelling.

If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the

spillage and allow remaining fuel to

evaporate.

Always move the machine away from the

refuelling area and source before

starting.

STARTING AND STOPPING

16 – English

Starting and stopping

Cold engine

Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position. About

one third open.

1 Full throttle

2 About one third open.

3 Idle speed

4 Stop switch

It is not allowed to set the stop switch in full throttle

position.

Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.

Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel

begins to ﬁll the bulb. The bulb need not be completely

ﬁlled.

Warm engine

Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but

without setting the choke control in the choke position.

Starting

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your

left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter

handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until

you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now

quickly and powerfully pull the cord.

Never twist the starter cord around your hand.

Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the

engine starts, return choke control to run position.

CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and

do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully

extended. This can damage the machine.

NOTE!

Air is released as soon as the engine is started, even

when idling.

When the engine fails to start after several attempts due

to overchocking, open the choke and repeat pulling the

rope.

Set the required engine speed with the throttle control.

1 Full throttle

2 About one third open.

3 Idle speed

4 Stop switch

Stopping

The engine is stopped by moving the stop switch to the

stop position.

!

WARNING! Always move the machine

away from the refuelling area and source

before starting. Place the machine on a

ﬂat surface.

Make sure no unauthorised persons are in

the working area. Otherwise there is a risk

of serious personal injury. The safety

distance is 15 meters.

The machine may only be started in its

complete design. If the machine is started

without all the guards ﬁtted there is a risk

of personal injuries.

MAINTENANCE

English – 17

General

Remove the ignition cable and the spark plug to carry out

inspection and maintenance. Keep all parts of your body

away from hot surfaces.

Carburettor

Adjustment of the idle speed

Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air

ﬁlter is clean and the air ﬁlter cover is ﬁtted.

The factory idle speed setting is 2,000 rpm. Use the

adjustment screw at the upper edge of the carburettor if

the idle speed has to be adjusted.

Mufﬂer

The mufﬂer is designed to reduce the noise level and to

direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The

exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may

cause ﬁre if directed against dry and combustible

material.

The mufﬂer is equipped with a special spark arrestor

mesh. The spark arrestor mesh should be cleaned once

a month. This is best done with a wire brush.

To remove the spark arrestor mesh proceed as follows:

• Remove the exhaust duct (4, 5).

• Remove the spark arrester (3).

• Pull out the spark arrestor mesh and clean using a

wire brush. Replace the spark arrestor mesh if it is

defective.

CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective mufﬂer.

Check regularly that the mufﬂer is complete and secured

correctly. (1), (2) Tighten the screws. 8-10Nm

Check that the spark arrester and the exhaust duct are

screwed in place correctly (5). Tighten to 2-3 Nm.

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the

machine is equipped with a cooling system.

The cooling system consists of:

• Cooling ﬁns on the cylinder.

• Air intake screen

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more

often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling

system results in the machine overheating which causes

damage to the piston and cylinder. Check that the nozzles

are not blocked.

!

WARNING! The mufﬂer gets very hot

during use and remain so for some time

after stopping. This also applies at idle

speed. Contact can result in burns to the

skin. Remember the risk of ﬁre!

MAINTENANCE

Air intake screen

Check that the air intake is not blocked on all sides

including the underside, for example, by leaves or

rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the machine’s

blowing capacity and increases the engine’s working

temperature, which can result in engine failure. Stop the

engine and remove the object.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is inﬂuenced by:

• Incorrect carburettor adjustment.

• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type

of oil).

• A dirty air ﬁlter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug

electrodes, which may result in operating problems and

starting difﬁculties.

Clean the outside of the spark plug. Remove it and check

the electrode gap. Adjust the gap to 0,6-0,7 mm or

replace the spark plug. Check that the spark plug is ﬁtted

with a suppressor.

CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug

type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/

cylinder.

Air ﬁlter

The air ﬁlter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust

and dirt in order to avoid:

• Carburettor malfunctions.

• Starting problems.

• Loss of engine power.

• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.

• Excessive fuel consumption.

Clean the ﬁlter every 40 hours, or more regularly if

conditions are exceptionally dusty.

Avoid contact with hot surfaces on mufﬂer, cylinder etc.

Contact can result in burns to the skin.

Cleaning the air ﬁlter

• Loosen the four fasteners holding the air ﬁlter cover

and remove the ﬁlter. Wash the preﬁlter in warm soapy

water.

Clean the air ﬁlter. Do not clean the ﬁlter by tapping it

against a hard surface. This will damage the ﬁlter. If the

paper ﬁlter is still dirty it should be replaced with a new

one.

NOTE!

Never use oleaginous solvent to clean the air ﬁlter.

An air ﬁlter that has been in use for a long time cannot be

cleaned completely. The ﬁlter must therefore be replaced

with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air ﬁlter

must always be replaced.

• Reﬁt the air ﬁlter and air ﬁlter cover.

!

WARNING! Never use the blower if the

screen is not in place. Before use, check

that the screen is in place and

undamaged.
